Patient's question:
I don't know why I have frequent urination, so I had a thorough check-up and was diagnosed with prostatitis. Some people say that attention should also be paid to diet in daily life. What should I avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease among elderly men. In addition to oral medications, people believe that quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption, avoiding cold and spicy foods, and maintaining a relatively light diet are advisable. You can eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Pay attention to perineal hygiene and do not hold your urine. Try to avoid or minimize the consumption of spicy foods like chili peppers and ginger to prevent recurrent congestion of the prostate and bladder neck, and to alleviate local discomfort and pain.
